may improve the appearance of the tree,
but it will never be healthy and vigorous
again.
T. E. Hunt, of Greenwich, considers it
| of great importance that only healthy
trees be set out and also that the orchard
be well cultivated and cleared of briers
He works his orchard until July, plough
ing it once and then doing the work with
wheel or Acme harrow. He fertilizes
with muriate of potash and bone, using
two hundred pounds of potash and three
hundred pounds of bone to the acre. This
| orchard occupies ten acres and the ma
jority of the trees are in good con-
dition.
Isaac NJ. Smally, of Roadstown, has
been using kainit and bone for five years
with satisfactory results. He has 3, 500
trees set on corn ground, and he crops
among his trees with corn the first two
years, practising clean cultivation and
removing all briars whenever these ap-
pear. He fertilizes with kainit and bone,
using three hundred pounds of each per
acre, applied in early spring, and has no
yellows.
VIM. Redmond, of Jamesburg, has 49,
600 trees from two to fourteen years old
the old trees took the first premium at
the Monmouth Fair last season. Mr..
Redmond fertilizes with yard manure
and all the ashes he can procure and
practices thorough cultivation, believing
good cultivation equal to manure. He
carefully selects his buds from healthy
trees in order to secure healthy stock to
begin with, which he considers of the
utmost importance. His soil varies, some
being sandy and gravelly and some clay
loan, but all well drained and rolling,
with clay sub-soil.
Messrs. Culver and Blew, South River,
have 4, 900 trees, many of which are thir
teen years old, on sandy, gravelly loan,
with clay sub-soil and rolling surface.
They have fertilized with bone and lime.
Their practice is to sow buckwheat in their
orchards the first two years, and after
ward to cultivate without any crop,
ploughing very shallow twice in the sea-
son. Their orchards have produced fine
fruit, being fairly remunerative, and the
majority of the trees are now in very
good cOnition.
From the experience and practice of
the most successful peach-growers, Mr..
White closes his report with the following
conclusions, viz; That for successful
peach culture the soil must be adapted to
the development of the tree and fruit,
properly located and drained. Then
acting upon the principle that it is better
to prevent than to cure disease, perfectly
healthy trees should be selected for
planting, and after being planted they
should be thoroughly cultivated, judi
ciously pruned and well nourished with
the proper amount of food best suited to
their healthy growth and productiveness.

Peach Trees and Peaches.

In a special report made by J. NJ.
White to the New Jersey State expert
ment station are given in detail investi-
cations concerning peach yellows and
the treatment of the trees in New Jersey
by some of the more prominent growers.
Numbered with those who related their
experiences for this report is DR.. Henry
Race, of Pittstown, Hunterdon County,
who has used potash salt and bone for
the last six years. He has found that
when trees bear an excessively large crop
they are liable to an unhealthy appear
ance. The leaves turn yellow, small
reddish shoots start up from the large
branches near the trunk. and the wood
soon becomes of dark brownish color.
Whether these symptoms represent the
specific disease called the "yeilows +" or
not, DR.. Race does not pretend to say,
but claims that muriate of potash and
Superphospbate of lime, applied as soon
as the crop is gathered, in the quantity
Of four hundred or five hundred pounds
to the acre, with good cultivation and
pruning, will prevent this premature de-
cay or arrest 1T if just commenced. If
the fertilizer is withheld till the wood

FARM AND GARDEN.

Thorough and Frequent Cultivation.
The advantages of thorough and fire.
qaent cultivation are apparent under all
circumstances. In dry weather the fine,
loose soil makes a non-conducting COW
ering which preserves the subsoil moist
and prevents injury to the plants in wet
weather 1t absorbs and holds the rain
which would otherwise run off without
doing all the good it might. Two or
three inches Of fine, pulverized soil is a
mulch, and, holding large quantity of
air among its PARTICLES, cools the lower
soil and prevents excessive evaporation
When rain comes, then is the time to
run the cultivator through the crops and
loosen the crust which is apt to form the
first hot day afterward. In a dry time
the evaporation from the soil is prevented
ny frequent stirring of the surface and
the fine porous layer at every change from
hot to cool and from cool to hot again has
currents Of air passing in and out as the
expansion and contraction alternates,
with the more decaying vegetable matter
In the soil, the more moisture is absorbed
from the night dews and the more oxida-
ton and vitrifcation goes on as this
moisture and heat are absorbed by the
porous surface. Never mind how clean
and clear of weeds the soil may be; kill
ing weeds is only side issue in the work
of summer cultivation of crops.-Neo
York Times.

Farm and Garden Notes.

AS a rule, the best quality and the
best yield go hand in hand.
Employ extra help for the kitchen as
well as the field during harvest.
Poultry thrives in orchards and do the
orchards much good, for they kill many
insects.
The Crown Prince of Germany sells
1000 quarts of milk daily from his dairy
farm near Berlin.
Cultivation should be more and more
shallow as corn increases in size, says an
Ohio Experiment Station report.
The swine breeders of Iowa have
come to look upon white clover as an ex-
cellent summer pasturage for hogs.
Most farmers can keep few hives of
bees to advantage. Honey, like fruit,
should be found on the farmers table,
The TURNER'S Club Journal says: 'The
rock which wrecks many a breeder of
swine is desire to breed too young"
Keep the hoe moving; it will not only
kill the weeds, but render the soil mel
low, and thus promote rapid growth to
the crops.
Prof Morrow says: "Cut hay green.
Nearly all grasses loose value as they be-
come fully matured, some become COM
paratlvely worthless"
When the mere fact of dam being a
registered animal makes difference of
$500 to $500 in her progeny, it is the
height of folly to raise scrub stock.
When working your corn when the
ground is dry, do most of the work in
the early part of the day and dress the
rows near the stalks, removing clods.
oh,
never 90 any further than to bring the
butter and leave it in granular form.
Butter should be worked but little, and
the only office of that little is to liberate
the brine.
When your horse SHES at anything,
make him acquainted with it; let him
smell it, touch it with his sensitive up
per lip and look closely at it. Continue
the lesson and you will cure your horse
of all nervousness.
All stock-particularly work horses
should have frequent small drinks of
cool. pure water They require salt at
least once a week. If kept in the stable,
so as to be handy for use, the salt
should never be left uncovered.
A man who raised 300, 900 cabbages
last year kept the flea beetles away. He
poured a gallon of spirits of turpentine
into barrel of land plaster, and when
the plaster was dampened through he
spread it broadcast over his cabbage
patch, applying it when the cabbage was
dry.
Horses at hard work need special care,
both in food and general treatment.
They cannot do hard work on grass
alone and should have a proper ration of
oats. An occasional washing, in addi-
ton to currying and brushing, will help

be repeated with the Tenure-of-O Office

give the Republicans who supported
the repeal of vicious law the
credit for, doing so on conviction,
without reference to the party con-
